Tutorial: Azure AD SSO integration with Periscope Data
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Periscope Data with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate Periscope Data with Azure AD, you can:
- Control in Azure AD who has access to Periscope Data.
- Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Periscope Data with their Azure AD accounts.
- Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.
Prerequisites
To get started, you need the following items:
- An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
- Periscope Data single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
Scenario description
In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD single sign-on in a test environment.
- Periscope Data supports SP initiated SSO.
Add Periscope Data from the gallery
To configure the integration of Periscope Data into Azure AD, you need to add Periscope Data from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
- Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
- On the left navigation pane, select the Azure Active Directory service.
- Navigate to Enterprise Applications and then select All Applications.
- To add new application, select New application.
- In the Add from the gallery section, type Periscope Data in the search box.
- Select Periscope Data from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.
Configure and test Azure AD SSO for Periscope Data
Configure and test Azure AD SSO with Periscope Data using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between an Azure AD user and the related user in Periscope Data.
To configure and test Azure AD SSO with Periscope Data, perform the following steps:
- Configure Azure AD SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
- Create an Azure AD test user - to test Azure AD single sign-on with B.Simon.
- Assign the Azure AD test user - to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
- Configure Periscope Data SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
- Create Periscope Data test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Periscope Data that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
- Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
Configure Azure AD SSO
Follow these steps to enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal.
In the Azure portal, on the Periscope Data application integration page, find the Manage section and select single sign-on.
On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

On the Basic SAML Configuration section, perform the following steps:
a. In the Identifier (Entity ID) text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
https://app.periscopedata.com/<SITENAME>/ssob. In the Sign on URL text box, type a URL using one of the following patterns:
Sign on URL https://app.periscopedata.com/https://app.periscopedata.com/app/<SITENAME>Note
The Sign on URL value is not real. Update the values with the actual Sign on URL. Contact Periscope Data Client support team to get this value and the Identifier value you will get from the Configure Periscope Data Single Sign-On section which is explained later in the tutorial. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Azure portal.
On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, In the SAML Signing Certificate section, click copy button to copy App Federation Metadata Url and save it on your computer.

Create an Azure AD test user
In this section, you'll create a test user in the Azure portal called B.Simon.
- From the left pane in the Azure portal, select Azure Active Directory, select Users, and then select All users.
- Select New user at the top of the screen.
- In the User properties, follow these steps:
- In the Name field, enter
B.Simon. - In the User name field, enter the username@companydomain.extension. For example,
B.Simon@contoso.com. - Select the Show password check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the Password box.
- Click Create.
- In the Name field, enter
Assign the Azure AD test user
In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use Azure single sign-on by granting access to Periscope Data.
- In the Azure portal, select Enterprise Applications, and then select All applications.
- In the applications list, select Periscope Data.
- In the app's overview page, find the Manage section and select Users and groups.
- Select Add user, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.
- In the Users and groups dialog, select B.Simon from the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
- If you are expecting a role to be assigned to the users, you can select it from the Select a role dropdown. If no role has been set up for this app, you see "Default Access" role selected.
- In the Add Assignment dialog, click the Assign button.
Configure Periscope Data SSO
In a different web browser window, sign in to Periscope Data as an Administrator.
Open the gear menu in the bottom left and open the Billing > Security menu and perform the following steps. Only admins have access to these settings.

a. Copy the App Federation Metadata URL from step #5 SAML Signing Certificate and open it in a browser. This will open up an XML document.
b. In the Single Sign-On textbox, select Azure Active Directory.
c. Find the tag SingleSignOnService and paste the Location value in the SSO URL textbox.
d. Find the tag SingleLogoutService and paste the Location value in the SLO URL textbox.
e. Copy the Identifier value for your instance and paste it in Identifier (Entity ID) textbox of Basic SAML Configuration section on Azure portal.
f. Find the first tag of the XML file, copy the value of entityID and paste it in the Issuer textbox.
g. Find the tag IDPSSODescriptor with SAML protocol. Within that section, find the tag KeyDescriptor with use=signing. copy the value of X509Certificate and paste it in the Certificate textbox.
h. Sites with multiple spaces can choose the default space from the Default Space drop down. This will be the space new users get added to when they log in to Periscope Data for the first time and are provisioned through the Active Directory Single Sign On.
i. Finally, click Save and confirm the SSO settings change by typing Logout.

Create Periscope Data test user
To enable Azure AD users to log in to Periscope Data, they must be provisioned into Periscope Data. In Periscope Data, provisioning is a manual task.
To provision a user account, perform the following steps:
Log in to Periscope Data as an Administrator.
Click on the Settings icon on the left bottom of the menu and navigate to Permissions.

Click on the ADD USER and perform the following steps:

a. In First Name text box, enter the first name of user like Britta.
b. In Last Name text box, enter the last name of user like Simon.
c. In Email text box, enter the email of user like brittasimon@contoso.com.
d. Click ADD.
Test SSO
In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration with following options.
Click on Test this application in Azure portal. This will redirect to Periscope Data Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to Periscope Data Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Periscope Data tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to Periscope Data Sign-on URL. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.
Next steps
Once you configure Periscope Data you can enforce session control, which protects exfiltration and infiltration of your organization’s sensitive data in real time. Session control extends from Conditional Access. Learn how to enforce session control with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
